I have some large chunks of crystal you will have seen similar, they have holes drilled in so you can sit a tea light inside it, my question is doesn't it damage the crystal in anyway, i've never lit a candle in them yet, wouldn't they crack?

Re: Crystals and Candles
I think it is so cruel to do that, cut and gouge out holes in crystals :(
My friend has one and no, the crystal doesn't crack, but it fades and discolours :(

Re: Crystals and Candles
My Selenite Tea Light holder is quite deep and it lights up beautifully when a lighted tea light is placed inside. The Selenite seems to catches the light and the light appears to illuminate the Selenite. But it appears to crack and chip when a lite tea light is placed inside, Selenite is a bit of a delicate crystal so I use old used tea lights to pack the lighted tea light above sides of the tea light holder and use it that way. Hopefully it will last a life time now.
I even think that it may have a deep hole in the holder for use with battery powered lights instead of a candle flame tea light.

Hi, it's good you found a way to prevent damage to it, you can buy really tiny torches these days if you're thinking of using artificial light.
Hi Mia do you think this could disturb their energies/properties?
